The Weather on the East Coast is a bit ordinary at the moment!

Check the BOM radar and drive in whatever direction to better conditions.......don't like cards or shopping centres

"Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet"...

Having said that I'm a weather watcher so I try and build a continuous picture in my mind as to what to expect a few days done the track by looking at the bigger picture and adjust plans accordingly, in need.

Well, Axle, about 40 years ago we had such a holiday. There we were, isolated, camped among the dunes north of Port Macquarie and an East Coast Low (what we're experiencing now) hit with a vengeance. Road was impassable, ferry at Port was broken, nowhere to go.

Had plenty of food in the boot of the car (Mazda RX4 coupe) but no water. We dug a hole in the sand beside the tent, put a bucket in it and collected all the water we needed off the tent.

A good tent, dry inside, but couldn't keep ourselves dry, so forgot about clothes, put them in the car too. We lived like natives for close on 2 weeks, and got sunburned bums on the few days the sun did shine. Played cards, ate and drank and ....

But a great holiday... and surprise, surprise, first child was born on schedule :-)

Cheers

Spent the day outside reading a book. Was a cool 23 here in Brisvegas.

Looks bad down in Mexico though ROFL

Good one Axle

Pack up and go home?..No

Go to the nearest shopping centre? and argue about money? ..No

pull something off the 4by and spend the next three days trying to put the Bludger back on? ....What ? No.

Sit and empty a few flagons....aaaghrr NO. Do they still sell flagons ?

"So whatda you Do??"

Well if it's a bit wet searching for frogs is always good....here's a few I have found when "a week of rain sets in and flogs down" (though generally just a day or two is all that required)...











What ever you do don't sit around lamenting the situation.

This is what is happening around here. I am typing this on battery power, don't know when mains power will return.

Quote from that link "SES crews had to carry out a number of swift-water rescues after floodwaters swept through the Stroud campground in the Hunter." If you look on Google maps you will see the show ground to the north of town on flat land between two creeks.

If you go to this link you can listen to the local ABC through the live link on the RHS. They are on emergency services broadcast, regular programmes have been suspended.

Now signing off to conserve battery.
